Nepal - Everest Discovery and Ama Dablam Base Camp

This is an outstanding opportunity to Trek in the Everest region staying in quality lodges with visits to Sherpa villages and Buddhist monasteries.

Our Everest Discovery and Ama Dablam trek is the best way to explore Nepal in style while staying in the most comfortable lodges of this region

The lodges we use provide an excellent level of service with landscaped gardens, comfortable lounges and bedrooms as well as hot showers and western toilets.

You fly to Kathmandu for a night in this fabulous city, and your holiday begins with a guided Tour exploring the vibrant capital of Nepal, before you fly high into the Himalaya to the mountain airstrip at Lukla on a breathtaking exciting flight on a twin otter plane. Here you begin your trek in the heart of Sherpa Country, The Khumbu.

We call this holiday trekking and exploring - for not only do you walk the best of a fantastic region, but you get to explore its culture, history, unique places and attractions. The best of both worlds.

The Trek

This trek follows good trails deep into the mountains of the Khumbu region, much of it in the Everest National Park.. We are now in Buddhist Sherpa country where you will see colourful prayer flags, mani walls and monasteries along the way. The trail between lodges takes you through beautiful Nepalese villages with spectacular views of the Khumbu and the Everest region. This is a moderate walk and would be an ideal choice for the first time trekker wanting to maintain home comforts.

The Everest region

The Everest region is the most famous area in Nepal and perhaps the entire Himalaya, as it is the centre for the major mountaineering expeditions. Here Himalayan giants from Everest to Ama Dablam tower above the Khumbu Valley, making this valley one of the world’s most magical and inspiring places to visit and trek.

Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park covers the area known as Khumbu and is situated in the north eastern region of Nepal. It is spectacular mountainous country all above 3000 metres in altitude. Most of the park is steep and rugged with paths that traverse and wind round the hillsides, the terrain broken by deep gorges and glacial valleys, while the major valleys have some relatively level areas, which are used for growing crops and grazing. The inhabitants of the Khumbu are Sherpas, originally Tibetan migrants, arriving some four to five hundred years ago. Very little had influenced the region until 1950 when the first mountaineering expeditions arrived to conquer the world’s highest mountain.

Carolyn Hall Lake District April 2014
Hi Jill and Tom I am completely smitten with the Lake District!
Huge thanks to you both for making the holiday completely perfect. We were so lucky. All the elements were in place: springtime, glorious weather, wonderful scenery, congenial company, comfortable beds.. And thanks to you I felt completely cared for and let go any responsibility. You made me feel that nothing was too much trouble. I'm only worried that you don't burn out through taking on too much! A propose of which, thank you, Tom, for a charming detour through Troutbeck..
It was such a pleasure to get to know you both and to see the path you have chosen for this part of your life. I hope the opportunities just keep coming. Thank you for giving me food for thought…
Have a good rest. I hope our paths cross again soon.
